Every sub is where people post their mundane situations, and the group responds with the most hyperbolic and over-the-top reactions.
Relationship has a small communication issue? Break up and go no contact.
Family member disagrees? Never talk to them again.
Marriage has problems? The other person is a toxic abuser. Divorce immediately.
Boss has an expectation? They are hostile, and you need to quit.
Company provides an product you don't like? Sue them and organize a boycott.
Politician has an opinion other than yours? They are destroying a country, cancel them.
You are immediately downvoted and probably banned if you post anything that encourages moderation or patience.
I know this sounds very "boomer" of me, but I do think people raised with easily available echo rage chambers are growing into un-resilient and fragile people.
AITA for divorcing my wife after she took a bite of my apple?
For real, I just remind myself the average age of the people posting on the frontpage is probably 16. I use old.reddit.com and a handful of very niche subs and my reddit experience is mostly fine.
Eating the apple is just a symptom of abuse! She's toxic, and you should upend your entire life for this violation! What happens when she eats your kids?
